Thanks,
I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2 Mobo which has via 8233 AC97 soundchip built into
the board.
Upon install LM8.2 seems to configure an OSS driver which works,but only with
one item, namely the CD player. Nothing else seems connected to the system.
There is no Mandrake sound for the OS, no Xcdroast , no midi player,
you name it it doesn't work. It does not seem to be anything to do with
unmuting.
So what am I to do, several suggestions later someone said configure the
alsa sound driver, instead of the OSS driver,which I think I have achieved.
Certainly kernel configure and KDE sound believe it is running.
It makes no difference whether ARTS is enabled or disabled.
There does not seem to be any sndconfig command line facility.
The website mentioned previously says add
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-via8233
post-install snd-slot-0 snd-pcm-oss to modules.conf,
but although this does help to bring alsa to live as a driver
It appears in the boot script now,
Nothing including the CD player works.
I don't actually have any sound at all.
However I think it should work, something is amiss,
but I am fast running out of ideas.
Installing the latest alsa driver was just one idea.
Reconfigure the modules.conf file to include lines about
amixer set Master 22 unmute
amixer set Master Mono 22 unmute
amixer set Input Gain 22 unmute
amixer set Aux 22 unmute
amixer set Line 22 unmute
amixer set PCM 22 unmute was another,
but when I do this I get lots of "failed" script at boot time,
with comments about line this and that being unrecognised.
The only clue I can find is in configure KDE-info-sound,
two lines, synth dev:not enabled in config
midi dev : not enabled in config
possibly modules.conf needs additional lines to achieve this ?
I suspect the alsa sound driver is there and running but no sound
device is connecting with it.
Is it anything to do with AC97 ?
I don't know ?
regards,
John
